Fu's mother was somewhat surprised to see her return.

"Why are you back?"

"Mom, we're going to the research institute later. Is there any food left at home?"

Mrs. Fu shook her head: "No, we eat early. Here, I'll make you a bowl of noodles!"

"Okay. Call me when you're done." Fu Mingxue went back inside.

Mrs. Fu went straight to the kitchen.

The noodles were cooked very quickly, in less than half an hour.

"Mingxue, dinner is ready."

Fu Mingxue heard her mother eating her, so she came out.

"Mom, where is Aunt Ding?"

"She had to go out for a while, and besides, there's nothing much going on at home during the lunch break, so she can go home. She usually comes back around three o'clock."

Of course, if the children are on holiday at home, Ding Lanqi will always be there.

In the past, when Fu Zhenbao was still young, Ding Lanqi had to stay with her all day, since she had to take care of the child.

Now Fu Zhenbao has grown up and gone to school.

After finishing work in the morning, I have free time in the afternoon, so there's no need to stay at home all the time.

Fu Mingxue didn't ask any more questions.

She finished her meal in just a few bites.

"Mom, I'm going to work. Oh, and I might be a little late tonight. If I'm not back for dinner, don't wait for me. You guys can eat first."

"Okay." Madam Fu nodded.

Just as Fu Mingxue was about to go out, she heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door and looked inside—and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The person hawking their wares was someone they knew.

"Fu Mingxue! Do you remember me? I am Rong Jun."

Back then, Rong Jun still had an arrogant and unruly look on his face.

But the man before me was dressed in an elite style.

Not only was he dressed in a suit and tie, but his hair was also slicked back with hair oil, meticulously styled.

He also wore glasses on his nose, making him look very refined.

Even their attitude is no longer the arrogant one they had a few years ago.

"Mr. Rong, what can I do for you?"

"It's like this, my old lady doesn't have much time left, and she wants to see you one last time."

Rongjun originally intended to say that he wanted to see her one last time.

Saying that feels really unlucky.

"I'm sorry, I'm very busy with work and really don't have time to visit her. I hope Madam Rong can focus on her recovery."

Most importantly, she's not familiar with the Rong family, so why would she go there?

"There's no need to go to Hong Kong. The old lady has already been transferred to a hospital in Beijing. Can't this fulfill her last wish?"

Rong Jun's tone turned serious. "My grandmother really wanted to see you, but she was afraid you wouldn't go to Hong Kong, so she was transferred to this hospital in Beijing. If you're willing to visit her, we can get her back to Hong Kong sooner. So, Fu Mingxue, I'm begging you!"

After saying this, he bowed to Fu Mingxue.

This was something Fu Mingxue really didn't expect.

"You don't need to do that. If the old lady is really at the Beijing Municipal Hospital, then I agree to go see her."

Leaving Beijing is impossible, but since this person is at a hospital in Beijing, she can go and see him.

Her agreement relieved Rongjun.

"Thank you. By the way, can your mother come along?"

Fu Mingxue glanced at him, then said, "Wait a moment."

She did not let Rongjun into the courtyard.

Just as she turned around, Fu's mother appeared.

“I heard what you were saying. I don’t think we need to go since we don’t know each other. Mingxue, if you want to go, then go ahead, but be careful.”
